During Examinations

All bags, books and files are to be placed neatly outside
the classroom along the corridor at least ten minutes before the start of
the examination. Handphones are to be switched to silent mode and placed in the lockers.

There must not be any verbal or non-verbal
communication once candidates are in the examination venue. All queries
are to be directed solely to the invigilators.

Candidates who do not have a transparent pencil case
are to place their stationery on the desk and pencil case on the floor.

Before entering the exam venue, all candidates
are to ensure that

·they are not in
possession of any unauthorized materials or electronic devices e.g. handphones,
PDA, data storage device and notes;

·only approved
dictionaries can be brought into the examination venue if the use of
dictionaries is permitted in the examination. These dictionaries must be free
from any notes or marginal annotation. Separate pieces of papers, such as
post-its and tape flags are not allowed.

Before the commencement of the paper, all
candidates are to ensure that

·they have
received the correct question paper and the necessary writing materials;

·they have read
the instructions on the exam cover page and checked that their paper has the
specified number of printed pages and that the printing is clear.

Candidates should not visit the toilet in the
course of examination unless absolutely necessary. If the invigilator
grants the permission, candidates are to empty the contents in their
pockets and place them on the desk before leaving the exam venue.Candidates should return to the exam
venue within 5 minutes.

Candidates must stop writing immediately when
the invigilator announces that the time is up.

At the end of the paper, candidates are to ensure
that all answer sheets are handed in duly. Submission of answer sheets
after the collection of scripts will not be accepted. All unused writing
papers are to be returned to the invigilator.

Candidates are to remain silent while the
invigilator collects and accounts for all the scripts.Upon the invigilators’ instructions, candidates
are to assemble outside the exam venue and move quietly to the dispersal
area (canteen for the first paper and front porch for the last paper).

Disciplinary actions will be taken against
candidates who do not comply to the exam procedures and invigilators’
instructions.

The school takes a very serious view of examination
malpractice or attempts to compromise the integrity of the exam. Malpractice refers to actions of candidates
which infringe examination rules and regulations or which allow candidates
an advantage in the examination or which enable them to influence other
candidates’ performance in the examination.
